Heaton Mersey
Heaton Mersey is a suburb of Stockport, Greater Manchester, England. It is situated on the north-western border of Stockport, adjacent to Didsbury and Burnage which are in the City of Manchester.
The suburb is an affluent residential area and commuter zone of Manchester; part of it has been designated a conservation area to protect its heritage.
Heaton Mersey, together with its neighbouring suburbs, Heaton Norris, Heaton Chapel and Heaton Moor, are collectively known as the Four Heatons of Stockport.
Within the boundaries of the historic county of Lancashire, Heaton Mersey lies on the north bank of the River Mersey, just a few miles downstream from its source in Stockport town centre. The river acts as a boundary between Heaton Mersey and the areas of Cheadle Heath and Cheadle Village. Heaton Mersey is also bordered by the City of Manchester, by the following areas; East Didsbury to the west, Burnage to the north-west. Within the direct vicinity the other areas within Stockport are; Heaton Moor to the north/north-east and Heaton Norris to the east.[citation needed]
Heaton Mersey overlooks the Cheshire Plain, which can be clearly seen from the top part of Heaton Mersey park off Didsbury Road. At the bottom lies the valley of the River Mersey, where Heaton Mersey Bleachworks was situated (now demolished) as well as a business and industrial estate. Mersey Vale nature reserve and two ponds are also found here, one being a club-owned fishing pond. Just off Didsbury Road, opposite Heaton Mersey village, lies Heaton Mersey Bowl which is a large depression in the ground used as open green space.
Heaton Mersey Common, which is another local nature reserve with fields and woodland, is situated next to the former Cranford Golf range. It, too, contains a large pond.
Out of the four Heatons, Heaton Mersey has the most green space by area[citation needed] and is the only to be situated on a river or contain any substantial water body.
The settlement of Heaton Mersey is rooted in the local industry which developed in the late 18th and 19th centuries. Prior to this, the area was agricultural, with small hamlets along the route between Stockport and Didsbury.
